Not everything should be an int. This code is quite dated. We now try to
use `guint8*` to represent arbitrary binary data, rather than `guchar*`
(which makes it sound like some form of string).

While it’s not a supported public part of the API, exporting this
symbol from the library means we can easily test the DNS record parser,
which is important to do since it handles untrusted data from the
network.
This fixes a bug where the family flag was ignored in lookup_data_new,
causing the resolver to call getaddrinfo with no hints set when clearly
the family hint should have been set.
And improve them externally, where not otherwise set, by setting them
from the function name passed to `g_task_set_source_tag()`, if called by
third party code.
This should make profiling and debug output from GLib more useful.

This was mostly machine generated with the following command:
```
codespell \
--builtin clear,rare,usage \
--skip './po/*' --skip './.git/*' --skip './NEWS*' \
--write-changes .
```
using the latest git version of `codespell` as per [these
instructions](https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell#user-content-updating).
Then I manually checked each change using `git add -p`, made a few
manual fixups and dropped a load of incorrect changes.
There are still some outdated or loaded terms used in GLib, mostly to do
with git branch terminology. They will need to be changed later as part
of a wider migration of git terminology.
If I’ve missed anything, please file an issue!

It returns a string in the libc locale, which is not necessarily UTF-8.
Convert that to UTF-8 before returning it to the caller.

Fixes: #1732
res_ninit() requires the __res_state struct passed to it to be
zero-filled on FreeBSD.

Fixes#1697
This allows higher levels to have more control over resolving
(ipv4 or ipv6 for now) which allows for optimizations such
as requesting both in parallel as RFC 8305 recommends.
C_IN macro was added years ago in bcbaf1bef0, using same value as the
internal code of Android with the reasonning that "some parts of the API
used by the resolver objects is not public in the Android NDK (yet)".
Well since then things are changed, since it is definitely available (at
least on the API 22 of Android which I am using) in the public header
arpa/nameser_compat.h.
Let's just add a #ifndef to handle both cases when you build with an
older or recent API.
Some very odd systems have the functions to initialise and destroy a
struct __res_state, but apparently not to do a DNS query using it. Fix
the compilation on those systems.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794606
res_query() uses global state in the form of the struct __res_state
which contains the contents of resolv.conf (and other things). On Linux,
this state seems to be thread-local, so there is no problem. On OS X,
however, it is not, and hence multiple res_query() calls from parallel
threads will compete and return bogus results.
The fix for this is to use res_nquery(), introduced in BIND 8.2, which
takes an explicit state argument. This allows us to manually store the
state thread-locally. If res_nquery() isn’t available, we fall back to
res_query(). It should be available on OS X though. As a data point,
it’s available on Fedora 27.
There’s a slight complication in the fact that OS X requires the state
to be freed using res_ndestroy() rather than res_nclose(). Linux uses
res_nclose().
(See, for example, the NetBSD man page:
https://www.unix.com/man-page/netbsd/3/res_ninit/. The Linux one is
incomplete and not so useful:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/resolver.3.html.)
The new code will call res_ninit() once per res_nquery() task. This is
not optimal, but no worse than before — since res_query() was being
called in a worker thread, on Linux, it would implicitly initialise the
thread-local struct __res_state when it was called. We’ve essentially
just made that explicit. In practical terms, this means a
stat("/etc/resolv.conf") call per res_nquery() task.
In future, we could improve this by using an explicit thread pool with
some manually-created worker threads, each of which initialises a struct
__res_state on spawning, and only updates it on receiving
the #GResolver::reload signal.

Setting a variable and then assigning it to itself avoids
-Wunused-but-set-variable but this specific trick is now caught by
-Wself-assign. Instead, actually use the value or don't bother
assigning it at all:
gdbusauth.c: call g_data_input_stream_read_byte() in void context
gdbusauthmechanismsha1.c: value is actually used
gdbusmessage.c: use consistent preprocessor-token protection
gthreadedresolver.c: skip over bytes in data blob
httpd.c: do something useful with the value
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745723
It was previously possible for GThreadedResolver to return an empty list
and no error in response to a g_resolver_lookup_by_name() call, if it
happened that all the addresses returned by getaddrinfo() could not be
converted from native addresses to GSocketAddresses.
Fix that by setting a G_RESOLVER_ERROR_NOT_FOUND if the returned list is
empty.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728776
ddf82a25 removed the use of non-literal format strings from
gthreadedresolver.c, but left the "#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored
-Wformat-nonliteral" behind.
In addition to the standard "192.168.1.1" format, there are numerous
legacy IPv4 address formats (such as "192.168.257",
"0xc0.0xa8.0x01.0x01", "0300.0250.0001.0001", "3232235777", and
"0xc0a80101"). However, none of these forms are ever used any more
except in phishing attempts. GLib wasn't supposed to be accepting
these addresses (neither g_hostname_is_ip_address() nor
g_inet_address_new_from_string() recognizes them), but getaddrinfo()
accepts them, and so the parts of gio that use getaddrinfo()
accidentally did accept those formats.
Fix GNetworkAddress and GResolver to reject these address formats.

It is possible that the upstream servers return something, but
we then filter all results because they are of the wrong type.
In that case the API and subsequent GTask calls expect a GError
to be set.

Since there is only one resolver implementation now, we can move the
resolver utility functions from gresolver.c into gthreadedresolver.c,
and remove the prototypes from gnetworkingprivate.h.

We were passing the wrong destroy notify when returning the list of
records, so it would crash if it got called (ie, if you didn't call
g_resolver_lookup_records_finish()).
(Also fix s/targets/records/ throughout the records functions.)
* Add resolver functions for looking up DNS records of
various types. Currently implemented: MX, TXT, SOA, SRV, NS
* Return records as GVariant tuples.
* Make the GSrvTarget lookups a wrapper over this new
functionality.
* Rework the resolver test so that it has support for
looking up MX, NS, SOA, TXT records, and uses GOptionContext

In particular, remove the libasyncns import, which was only used by
GUnixResolver, which is only used when threads are not available.
Likewise remove GWin32Resolver, and the hacky broken non-threaded
parts of GIOScheduler.

In resolve_sync function in gthreadedresolver.c, if g_thread_pool_push
fails due to thread creation failure, we are just simply appending the
data to the queue of work to do. After the failure, we might wait
indefinitely in g_cond_wait. In case of g_thread_pool_push failure,
propagate the error so that this function does not blocks forever in
case of failure.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651034
When you're using the threaded resolver and using a sync call
without a cancellable the resolve_sync forgot to unlock the
initial req->mutex lock, leading to a deadlock when unrefing
the request.
GResolver provides asynchronous (and synchronous-but-cancellable) APIs
for resolving hostnames, reverse-resolving IP addresses back to
hostnames, and resolving SRV records. Part of #548466.
